:CHARACTER:
Name: Constance Damara Elisabeth Mosley
Approx. Age: 25
PB: Catherine McCormack
Journal: gildedlady
Sexual Preference: Constance likes everyone*G*

Family: Her father, Lord Oswald Mosley (51), is the 3rd Earl of Ravensdale; for many years he served as High Sheriff of Staffordshire. Her mother, Lady Margaret (nee Innes) (44) is second cousin to the Duke of Roxburgh and can trace her lineage back to James II of Scotland. She has one younger brother, Lord Nicholas (23), Viscount Rolleston, who represents several constituencies in the House of Lords and making quite the name for himself in politics.

Social Standing/Occupation: nobility; daughter of the Earl of Ravensdale; courtesan; passionately supports defenseless women, and has strong convictions about inequality and isn't afraid to say it

How do they feel about Turpin?: her public opinion - he's daring and reckless; a hero to the people yes but how long until he makes a mistake; her private opinion - she believes in what he's doing and helps if and/or when he wants or needs it; she loves him.

Brief Synopsis of Appearance: She stands about 5.8, long wavy red hair, thin but with an hourglass figure; dresses very fashionably but won't back away from dressing down either; fancies men's clothing at times, or when the setting suits or requires it; she is witty, charming and very intelligent. Beautiful yes but an equally captivating personality keeps people flocking.

Personality and Traits (at least a paragraph): She is a revolutionary at heart but also a businesswoman who won't pass up a good opportunity when she sees it. Constance does what she does because she likes it, likes the freedom she has over other women of the time. She sees it as a brilliant business opportunity and has a great business mind. She thinks one persons money is as good as the others, and she doesn't desire marriage but doesn't see harm in making good money inside and behind closed doors. Constance is free to come and go as they please, wined and dined by all manner of men in the city, get to have sex without retribution and most of all is allowed to become educated. After all, one must know a lot about the world in order to converse with worldly men. Though kind and generous, she does have a mean streak to her and quite the temper that stereotypically comes with her red hair. And she's not afraid to take revenge on those who wrong her. Constance has purchased a majority of the Marquess' outstanding notes, and has the man right where he wants him, in his debt and scared to death of being financially and socially ruined.

Character History (at least a paragraph): Basically, she's the spare to the heir. Once her brother was born, Constance was left to her own devices, though she was trained to use her natural assets and abilities to achieve a financially beneficial marriage for her father, or the family. At 16 she got into trouble, got pregnant courtesy of a friend of her brothers, a handsome but vain and bullyish Marquess. Friends of friends got her to the Madam of one of the upscale brothels, Isabel Thwaite who helped take care of her. This ill-advised transgression led to the crossroads of her life and instead of becoming a nun or settling for a man she doesn't really want (which is what her father probably would have wanted), she chooses the life of a courtesan with Isabel's help as Isabel was once one of the most famous courtesan's of the time before going into private business. Connie was so grateful that she became a patron of sorts to the house as she works her way up from lourette to courtesan quickly, rising through the ranks to consort with some of the leading notables of her day, noble and royal alike.

Any specific plots you'd like to play out?: her and Turpin, her being a courtesan and how it affects other relationships she has ( how does her lover deal with her being a courtesan etc.); what happens when/if people find out she is involved with Turpin

How do you want to integrate your character into the game?: any social event would likely be good, a snip out of life at court, secret rendezvous with her lover, etc....

Any wanted characters?: her parents, brother, the Marquess, those who engage her at court

3rd person RP sample (this only has to be one or two paragraphs): She loved this time of year; it reminded her so much of home. The cold whistling winds through the Highlands, the smell of fall coming fast. Knowing she had some time, Constance left the girls at the house and took the carriage to the park. She walked slowly and savoured everything and then found the perfect spot to sit. There should could equally take in the scenery, watch the other walk by, and watch any boats that were coming by on the river that formed the edge of this part of the park.

She sat carefully and easily held her parasol to shade the sun that was trying to come out as she slowly nibbled on some of the small shortbread cookies she and the girls had made the night before. Yes, this was a good day for sitting and watching.

Journal Sample (same): There is more talk in town but I'm not surprised. Turpin has struck again. I don't know the details but I'm sure once I make the rounds there will be one or five theories as to who, what and why. Court was noting if not a gossip fest. I can not wait to hear what some of those gossipy old ladies have to say. God forbid if Turpin should come and raid their wardrobes. If I didn't know better, it would almost be funny. But I do know better. And it really is amusing.

Anything else?: um I <3 you? and yay for historical RPGs
